Chapter 10: A Must-Win Gamble
A week later, Xu Canhao started school. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info hasn't received any news about the songs yet, but he's not in a hurry, these songs originally belonged to hot, and there was no reason why anything could go wrong. In fact, S.M has already had several debates around several of his songs, whether to use them or not, and how many to use. At the beginning of the company's establishment, there was no income, and Li Xiuman also had a headache and was pulling investment everywhere. According to his idea, if these songs are to be taken down, they must be bought out, included in the company's music library, and become part of the hot money. But in this way, it is necessary to increase the price and give Xu Canhao a lot of money. In the end, Li Xiuman gritted his teeth and decided to fund the buyout, and the Music Writers Association would make an evaluation, and then discuss the cost with Xu Canhao. Xu Canhao, who got the news, was stunned, he didn't think about selling the copyright. After thinking about it for a while, he made a decision, discussed it with his father, and the father and son came to S.M on the weekend.
This time, I entered the company smoothly, and I was taken directly to the president's office on the third floor by a front desk staff. The three of them chatted for a while, and Li Xiuman personally poured tea for the two. During this time, Xu Canhao has been observing this legendary figure. I didn't feel like I was going to be a tyrant, maybe he wasn't a pure businessman now, but he looked very elegant. I don't know if I'm tired, my cheeks are sunken, but I feel very lean. Li Xiuman was actually quietly observing the two fathers and sons, especially Xu Canhao. This son has very thoughtful etiquette and a very calm temperament, giving people a subtle feeling that does not match his age. My father should have been a soldier for a long time, and his spirit and spirit are different from ordinary people, and the feeling of sitting there is also very different. It's not easy to deal with. Li Xiuman thought while making tea, and habitually pushed down the frame of his glasses with his thumb.
"Mr. Xu, the company hopes to buy the copyright of the song in your son's hands. Here's a power of attorney and a contract, and I hope you can take a look at it and reach this cooperation. Li Xiuman poured tea for the two, sat back on the chair behind the desk, and said straight to the point.
Xu Youzhi didn't speak, nor did he take what Li Xiuman handed over, and looked at him expressionlessly. Li Xiuman was a little embarrassed, and turned his head to look at Xu Canhao again. Xu Canhao took it with a smile and said, "President Li, today is mainly for me to discuss cooperation with you, and my father is just acting as my driver for a day today." When Father Xu heard his son's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Haha, Mr. Xu, you have a good son!" Hearing Li Xiuman's words that I don't know whether they were praise or depreciation, Father Xu spoke. "Mr. Li, let's get started, my son is now fully capable of discussing cooperation matters with you." The exchange of guns and arrows between the two, Xu Canhao could only smile on the side.
"Ahem, okay then, Mr. Xiao Xu..."Li Xiuman coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.
"President Li, you still call me Chanhao, after all, you are still my elder." Xu Canhao quietly put Li Xiuman in a row, hinting to him, don't go too far and give a heavy hand to a child.
Li Xiuman smiled slightly, didn't care, and said, "Okay, Canhao, I hope to buy it..."
"President Lee. I can sell the rights to the company, but..."Xu Chanhao interrupted Li Xiuman again. Li Xiuman frowned, didn't make a sound, and waited for Xu Canhao's next words. He began to realize that this kid was not simple, he was trying to control the pace of the whole negotiation, and it seemed that he had a plan of his own.
Xu Canhao saw Li Xiuman's expression in his eyes, smiled slightly and continued: "However, I hope that I will use the copyright and personal funds to enter the S.M company. Moreover, I can also plan and write songs for the company's artists..."
"No, absolutely not!" This time it was Li Xiuman's turn to interrupt. Although the company is short of money now, it has not yet reached the point of exhaustion. He is ambitious, and he also has a strong pride that ordinary people don't have. As a last resort, he would never allow anyone else to interfere in the company he had founded, not to mention that the other party was a student under the age of twelve, and he himself began to feel the need to continue the conversation.
Xu Canhao seems to have a countermeasure, he analyzed Li Xiuman based on the information of the previous life, and vaguely guessed what Li Xiuman thought. "At the beginning of its establishment, S.M only spent 200 million yuan to lay down such a big stall now. It's preparing two groups to debut, and HOT is preparing to debut in September this year, right? Xu Canhao asked with a playful look. Li Xiuman was moved, the exact time of HOT's debut was only known to himself and a limited number of people, what was the origin of the child in front of him, and how he knew it. Ignoring Li Xiuman's surprise, Xu Canhao continued: "Can you guarantee that HOT will be successful in its debut?" Do you still have the money to do the upfront promotion, or do you have the money to make and release an album? Xu Canhao's words were very serious, which was tantamount to a slap in the face. Sure enough, Li Xiuman's face turned red, and he stood up and glared at Xu Canhao angrily.
At this time, Xu Canhao's heart was also a little empty, his temperament was a little perverse, and it was a legacy of his previous life. has a little advantage, it is a bit big, the wind leaks when he speaks, and the two sides are put on the cliff at once, they are a bit of a dilemma, and the medicine is fierce. But Xu Canhao is not afraid, it is not him who is in a hurry now, it should be Li Xiuman. The two stared at each other for a long time, and Father Xu also felt nervous. In the end, it was Li Xiuman who lost, and he lost on the money he didn't care about the most. He started his business with dreams, not how to become a great businessman, and he didn't think about petty expenses. But it is these things that he doesn't care about, which has created his current situation of riding a tiger, the company has to plan new people, to fund and contact TV stations, to produce albums, to collect songs, to publicize, etc., etc., not counting the small head expenses of clothing or anything. If there is no investment, you can only sit and wait for the acquisition or bankruptcy.
All three of them secretly let out a sigh of relief. Li Xiuman sat back in his seat, threw the contract on one side into the trash can, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said to Xu Canhao: "Say what you ask, don't go too far." ”
Xu Canhao heard the meaning of Li Xiuman's words, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said expressionlessly: "Three songs, if the company needs me, I will write them." In addition, a capital injection of 100 million won, a hot publicity plan and the company's star-making plan. Xu Canhao said this, and handed over a folder to Li Xiuman.
Li Xiuman didn't look at it, but just stared at Xu Canhao with burning eyes: "Why do you think hot will succeed?" ”
Xu Canhao smiled, straightened his chest, leaned over to stare at Li Xiuman's eyes, and said in a strong confident tone: "I believe in Uncle Xiuman's vision, and I believe that S.M Company will climb to the top of it in your hands!" Xu Canhao pointed to the nameplate made of marble on the table with the "President of S.M. Entertainment Co., Ltd.: Li Xiuman".
"Haha, you're good, you're good!" Li Xiuman didn't care about Xu Canhao's change in his address at all, and laughed loudly, as if he wanted to vent all the previous repression. "Twenty percent of the shares, no more. We sign contracts privately and cannot be made public. You are given the status of a director, but you have no decision-making power in the company. Li Xiuman took the initiative to give the bottom line in his heart, and now he is more optimistic about Xu Canhao.
Xu Canhao nodded, which was not far from what he expected to want, so he agreed to Li Xiuman's conditions. "The other funding gaps have to be handled by Uncle Xiuman, you yourself." Xu Canhao stood up and shook Li Xiuman's hand symbolically, and then said with a deep bow.
"Well, don't worry about this, I can solve this." Li Xiuman was very satisfied with Xu Canhao's attitude, who wouldn't want to go down the steps. The eyes have also become the kind of love that the elders look at the younger generations. "In a few days, I will ask Mr. Xu to come to the company to sign the contract on his behalf." Li Xiuman stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Xu's father politely.
"Okay, President Li, I'll thank you in the future." Father Xu nodded to Li Xiuman, and the two shook hands again. "Then we'll leave and won't bother President Li."
"It doesn't matter, I'll ask someone to show you around the company. It is easy to understand the main departments of the company, as well as the structure of the company. Li Xiuman said to the two with a smile.
"Okay, I'm sorry for the trouble, please pay attention to rest." Xu Canhao bowed and thanked him, and turned around and went out with Xu's father. Li Xiuman looked at the backs of the two, his smile gradually stopped, and he walked behind the seat and looked out the window.
The two fathers and sons walked around the S.M company and did not speak. After waiting for the car, Xu's father said to Xu Canhao with a serious expression: "Xu Canhao, don't you think you played too much this time!" We only have 30 million at most, where did 100 million come from! "It's the first time that Father Xu has spoken to Chan Hao so vigorously.
Xu Canhao took off his shoes at this time and knelt on his seat. "Father, please believe me. Soon I will prove to you that the business is worth it, I'm not playing. Trust me, please. Xu Canhao said very seriously, and finally bowed to Xu's father.
Father Xu looked at his son solemnly helplessly. He didn't expect things to change... has become so big, 100 million won (more than 800,000 yuan at about the same time) has exceeded his imagination and ability. If it weren't for Xu Canhao's usual steady and mature performance, he would not have agreed to come to S.M Company today. However, after seeing the rivalry between Xu Canhao and Li Xiuman, he felt that his son was really not simple. Moreover, in the battle between the two, Xu Canhao faintly wanted to overpower President Li, at least that's how he felt. He was proud of his son, and his well-founded performance made him admire in his heart. Father Xu thought about his thoughts, and looked at Xu Canhao, who had been in a kneeling posture. Unconsciously, Xu Canhao was already sweating on his forehead, he didn't want his efforts to be in vain, even if it was a loan, he had to inject capital, he thought fiercely in his heart.
"Well, get up. As a father, this time, let go of this old face and find my old comrades-in-arms to carry out activities. Xu's father's words of sighing are undoubtedly heavenly for Xu Canhao. He was overjoyed and hugged Xu's father's neck. "Thank you, Dad." He said this very seriously, and he was very moved. In his previous life, he had no father, and his family could not help him in life or career, so he could only carry everything silently by himself. In order to support his family, he did not hesitate to take the wrong path, and he never regretted it. However, no one knew how much he wished to have a broad shoulder to share a little for him in the most helpless time of his life. These are because he does not have a father who can hold up the sky like others
Father Xu noticed his strange emotions, and he sighed and was relieved in his heart. He turned his head and said, "You're still going to go back and figure out how to convince your mother." Father Xu started the car with a smile.
"Hey..."When Xu Canhao heard Xu's father's words, he was forced to be miserable, and he collapsed on the seat with a broken face. Father Xu stretched out his hand funny and rubbed his head rudely, "It's still a child!" Father Xu sighed in his heart.
